IAAD. – Istituto d’Arte Applicata e Design – is one of the most important Higher Education Institutes in Italy and Europe in the field of design.

IAAD. is a community that cultivates the dialogue between people, respecting individuality and diversity.

It nurtures in curious minds the courage to dare, to fail, to seek original solutions, to redefine the rules.

It searches the depths of humanistic culture for the principles that guide the art of design and teaches how to apply them.

It believes in the power of imagination to redesign reality.

The student is at the center of the didactic activity that combines both a cultural and practical approach.

The study program concludes with the student’s thesis project as well as a group one, aimed at the creation of a portfolio that becomes the passport to enter the professional work place.

90% of IAAD. students find employment within one year of graduation thanks to having:

• more than 200 professors, established professionals from the world of design;
• a close collaboration with a network of international partner companies;
• a focused job placement service that ensures over 3000 interviews per year.

Joining IAAD. means being part of an international network headed by AD Education, a leader in France amongst the private entities related to teaching design and applied arts and one of the leading protagonists in this sector in Europe.

BRIEF

For the first time in its 91 years history, Pininfarina presented in July 2021 a virtual concept car called Teorema.

With the main mission to make the journey as pleasurable as the destination, Teorema is an electric, autonomous vehicle, entirely developed with virtual reality technologies only.

This futuristic vehicle is built on a modular electric chassis creating an original pentagonal five-seater environment with an innovative space-saving design.

From the outside, the absence of side doors gives it a great stylistic lightness.

With this project, Pininfarina wanted to delineate its vision of the future of mobility: high interaction between passengers, the vehicle and the external environment through open and shared spaces.

What are we asking you to do?

You have been assigned to imagine a custom edition of Teorema called “Pininfarina Teorema | enjoy the uniqueness.”

To enhance the value of the brand, always keep in mind Pininfarina’s three main design principles: purity, elegance, and innovation.
